Silent Hill Latest Updates
--------------------------Silent Hill f Banned in Australia
Silent Hill f has been officially banned in Australia following a "Refused Classification" rating from the country's classification board. This decision means that the game will not be available for purchase, rental, or import within the country.
The Australian Classification Board's decision to assign a "Refused Classification" (RC) rating to Silent Hill f was based on content deemed to exceed community standards. According to the board's website, materials receiving an RC rating contain content that cannot be sold, hired, advertised, or legally imported in Australia. This rating is reserved for content that goes beyond what is allowed in the R 18+ and X 18+ categories.
Although the specific reasons for Silent Hill f's RC rating were not detailed in the now-private publication post, it's clear that the game's content pushed the boundaries too far for Australian standards. In contrast, the Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) in the United States rated Silent Hill f as "Mature 17+," citing blood and gore, intense violence, and partial nudity as reasons. The ESRB's detailed summary highlighted frequent blood splatter, enemy attacks impaling the player, gore-filled cutscenes, and concept art featuring a nude mannequin as key factors contributing to the M 17+ rating.
The recent Silent Hill Transmission on March 13 gave fans a glimpse into what to expect from Silent Hill f, suggesting that the game may be one of the most graphic and intense entries in the franchise yet.
